Delete test orders in Magento

You got a Magento project to develop, you created a Magento theme, you placed initial products and categories and you also placed some test orders to see if Shipping and Payment methods work as expected. Everything seems to be cool and the client wishes to launch the site. You launch it. When you enter the administration for the first time after the launch, you will see all your test orders there. You know those should be deleted. But how?
This is a new version of the same article.

How to override Magento admin view (template) files, quick and dirty way

Suppose you are working on a extension that needs to either change some stuff or implement new stuff in the one of the Magento admin areas. For example, imagine a “Images” tab on the product edit section. If you were in a position where you need to do certain modifications on “Images” tab then you would most likely need to modify the app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/catalog/product/helper/gallery.phtml file to do so. One of Inchoo coworkers and a good friend of mine, Ivan Weiler, made a Magento Admin theme module that enables you to achieve similar functionality for admin template files as you have for frontend template files.

Bulk disable multiple Magento products

21st OCT 2009 | Posted by Branko Ajzele in Administration

With all its ORM, model, resource and so on greatness, sometimes platform limitations are too obvious in Magento when it comes to large number of products in store. Recently I faced a simple task, I needed to disable around 6500 products in Magento that were assigned to a single category called “Inactive Products”. Given that it was an import from old system to Magento it is irrelevant why one would use category “Inactive Products” instead of just setting their status to “disabled”. My point is, whats the fastest way to do a bulk action on large number of products. Read more

Manage your contacts effectively – where have all my post-its gone?

Anyone who’s ever worked on any kind of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) task – and, to be honest, that pretty much describes everyone reading this – knows it can be quite a hassle managing all the contacts, deals, callbacks, quotes and whatnots of client communication.

How many times have you scribbled some important note on the closest post-it you could find only to lose sight of it the very next day (or minute, for that matter)? Please raise your hand if you’ve at least once missed out on that follow-up email to a prospect weeks after sending your quote? It looks like we’re voting on something, right? Well, not any more.
